Je Suis Snuffy Smith: On the thinkpiecing of White poverty.
Jeff Dorchen reads a dumb thing on the internet (the Moment of Truth's version of 'Once Upon a Time...') and considers the limitations of Twitter-based political hot takery, the smugness of "Slate's chief political correspondent," and the infuriatingly limited discourse around White poverty (and the infuriatingly limited discourse around that discourse,) and suggests that just maybe if we can find the one thing that poor whites and poor non-whites have in common, we can rise up, from Juggalo to Beyhive, and kill the oligarchy.
